Event Details

The Institute of Musical Arts is hosting its summertime "Open Tea and Tapas" luncheon at Doña Barbara's Tea and Tapas, on Saturday, July 27, 2013 at 1:30 p.m. Doña Barbara's Tea and Tapas is a private, reservation-only tea room, located in the Institute of Musical Arts residence, presenting refined, elegant, custom-designed afternoon Tea and Tapas menus for group events.

At Doña Barbara's, we provide Afternoon Tea and Tapas with an emphasis on California contemporary cuisine. No crustless finger sandwiches or scones at our Afternoon Teas! Each meal is freshly prepared from the best locally-sourced ingredients available, and includes sweet and savory offerings. Your meal will be beautifully presented on a 3 - tiered tray, and will consist of 9 separate items. We promise you will never leave Doña Barbara’s hungry. We offer a variety of teas to choose from, and each guest gets their own (bottomless) pot of tea to enjoy. With advance notice, we are happy to accommodate special dietary restrictions and preferences, including lactose-free, gluten free, sugar free, vegetarian or vegan requests.

Our tea room can host up to 40 diners, and we generally require a minimum party size of 20 persons to reserve the entire space, however, for our 7/27/13 event, Friends of IMA will be able to pre-purchase 1-8 tickets for $30.00 each. So celebrate summertime! Treat yourself to a special afternoon. Grab your favorite lunch companion(s) and join us!

All tickets must be purchased before 5:00 p.m., Wednesday, July 24, 2013. There will be only one seating for this event, and we do expect a robust response, so please, purchase your tickets today. It’s sure to be an afternoon with great food, friends and fun.
